e have the chart data to enter into our computer program and now need to ascertain the correct timezo ne and whether hours are to be added or subt racted. To prepare f or our work, we will need 3 types of printout: 1) A data list sho wing the longitudes o f the planets, t ransneptunians, and relational points , 2) ahoro scopic chart in the 90° f ormat with space f or placing a 15-centimeter dial in the middle, and

3) a listing of the midpoints in the chart notated in the 22.5° system (16th harmonic).

These printo uts are available in the Aureas Special Uranian program, desgined specif ically for use withour lessons. And to perf orm our work, we will need one o f 2 things: either a) the Aureas Special Uranianprogram, which includes a versat ile on-screen 90° dial chart, with f unctions that make midpoint analysiseasier than when using a printed chart and dial manually, o r 

b) a printed 90° chart, which the Special Uranian program also provides, and should be used with a 15-centimeter 90° dial with either a pin or nut-and-bo lt to secure it to a clipboard. Please contactblake@www.uranian-institute.org if you need a 90° dial suitable f or our work.

 An illust rat ion o f the 90° dial can be seen here.

The dial shows two rows o f numbers. Starting at 0°, we see the degrees marked in 5° increments, onboth sides, around the outer circle of the dial, until we reach 45°. Then we take note of the second circleinside, which starts with 45° and cont inues up to 90°. Thus we see 5° on the outer circle correspondingwith 85° on the inner, 20° to 70°, 30° to 60°, and then 45° to 45°. Because o f this arrangement, we caneasily detect symmetrical relationships within the chart. The po inter (at 0° and 90° o f the dial) can be settoward any given point on t he chart. We will then note where each of the o ther f actors in the chart islocated in relation t o 0°. At this point, I would like to relate a story. One day, Alf red Witte was sitt ing at the

shore and threw a sto ne into t he water. He observed how small circular waves emanated outward f romwhere the stone f irst contacted the water. Then, when he threw two stones into the water at the sametime, he noted that at the central meeting point of the two circular patterns, a s traight line was f ormed.We can also observe similar patterns in the movements o f a boat . If it is stopped in a still harbor with themotor turned of f , it creates practically no waves. However, if someone starts the moto r and the propellor begins to turn, continual circular mot ion is triggered in the surrounding water. Traveling outward, awayf rom the shore, the boat arrives in proximity to other boats , and at the po int where the waves created byeach boat meet, we also see a st raight line fo rmed in the water. We can translate this undular mot ion intowhat would occur out in the cosmos. Every planet, due to its rotation, sends vibrational waves out intothe atmosphere, and straight lines result when they meet up with the vibrations o f other planets. Thismot ivated Alf red Witte to take note of the significance o f midpoints. When the energies o f any twoplanets intermix, they counteract yet ultimately complement each other in a remarkable manner.

In cases where a third planet lies at the midpoint o f the f irst two we just cons idered, a "planetary picture"is f ormed. On page 54 o f the German antho logy "Man: A Receiving Station o f Cosmic Inf luences", Alf redWitte wrote: "A planetary picture is f ormed by three planets when one of them is located at the midpointof the o ther two. These three planets can actually exist in six possible sequences in relationship to each

other; and within these six poss ible sequences, each of the three planets will lie at the midpoint o f theother two in 2 o f the 6 sequences"; and he cont inues: "the two outlying planets would together exert aninf luence on the planet o ccupying their symmetrical axis." Now, in a perso nal chart we will observe howplanetary pictures are detected. Thus we will look at the natus of Bill Gates, born 1955.Oct.28 at 22h00PST in Seattle (122W20 x 47N36). First , we set the 0° pointer of the dial on 0° Aries o f the chart and loo kto the right and to the lef t f or symmetrical relationships. We refer to this approach as investigation o f the axis. We will f ind factors to either side at appro ximately the same degrees, lef t and right. Since withthe 90° dial we have a f ourf old magnif ication of the 360° dial, it is easier to recognize more preciselywhere the midpoints , as well as the individual f actors, are located. The 90° dial is also easier on our eyes.In our later years in particular, we would all want to preserve our vision and pro tect t he sensit ivity of our eyes. At the distance of 3°, we f ind Cupido to the lef t and Vulkanus to the right, notated as CU/VU. At 5°we f ind the MC to the lef t and Apollon t o the right, actually closer to 6°, notated as MC/AP. If we now go

back to the concept o f the planetary picture, incorpo rating the f actor in the middle, we note that AR=CU/VU=MC/AP, and we thus have 2 single planetary pict ures . In order to f ind f urther pictures, wecould also quickly glance at a printout list ing the midpoints.

The Sun, as the source of life and vitality, is the most import ant po int in a chart. We now rotate the dialso that 0° points to the Sun and we look f or symmetries.

We find at 22° and 23° Jupiter and Kronos on one side, and Poseidon on the other. This can be notated

as JU/PO, KR/PO. This alone is the indicator of a unique personality in a special pos ition. In working withthe 16th harmonic, JU.KR.PO show up as being equal in value to the Sun, and this combination istheref ore a unif ying theme in all midpoints lying on this axis.

Next, at 25° we f ind Mars and Z eus, o r MA/ZE. Thus, as a unif ied or combined planetary picture, we haveSU=JU/PO=KR/PO=MA/ZE=MO/ME, or in 22.5° notation, SU=JU=KR=PO=MA/ZE=MO/ME. We will

consider the interpretations later. At this point , we want t o f irst clarif y the technique. Similarly, whenadjusting the dial to any given factor, we can f ind a series o f midpoints which altogether f orm acombined, o r complex, planetary picture.The only software program which effe ctively calculate s theexamples printed in these lessons is the 'Special Uranian' astrology program by AureasSoft ware of Paris, developed in cooperat ion with Ruth Brummund and Blake Finley (Click herefor further information.)
